Globalization refers to increasing economic, political, and social integration between countries through communication, trade, and cultural exchange. Some advantages of globalization include enabling online communication between people across borders, understanding other cultures, and allowing businesses to launch products worldwide. However, globalization can also widen gaps between rich and poor nations, increase unemployment as jobs move to lower-wage countries, and cause cultural misunderstandings as dominant cultures overshadow others. It may also facilitate large-scale illegal activities across international borders.
